How to import bookmarks settings on computer that has been wiped with no backup.

I had to "Refresh" the system of windows due to some problems. Without realizing that I needed to make a backup of my files Firefox to retrieve my profile later, I couldn't. I'm looking to see how I can return all my settings and bookmarks with this installation of Firefox without using a previous backup. In addition, the system restore will not work, as 'refreshing' the system deletes those. Thank you.

Have you ever created a Firefox Sync account to copy your data to Mozilla servers? If this isn't the case, it would be what can be recovered on your hard drive or personal backups.

The usual kind of reset in recent versions of Windows keeps your old user folder but it moving here:

C:\Windows.old\Users\your-user-name\

You will find this file? If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:

First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

Then click in:

Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

Note: you may find a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.

Bookmarks only

Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.

The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:

Success?

Complete restoration

This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect your old wide profile in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

  • How to import bookmarks from another computer on the network?

    I have an old computer that has firefox on it with a large number of bookmarks. I want to import the bookmarks into this new computer on my home network. How can I do this? It would also be useful if in the course of the transfer bookmarks would get in alphabetical order.

    You can export to HTML bookmarks in the Bookmarks window. It's now called "show all bookmarks". The last button on the toolbar in the window is the one that you are using and choose export. You can then save the bookmarks in HTML whenever you want. With the new computer, use the same toolbar button and choose Import and import the HTML file.

  • How can I find what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod.

    My computer with the installed iTunes died. I tried to load iTunes in my new computer, and then use it with my iPod and I get the error message that another version of iTunes has been used to record music on my iPod.  The new iTunes wants to erase everything on my iPod and start over.   Is the only place in all the songs I have on my iPod so I don't want to erase it and start over. I need to know what version of iTunes has been used with my iPod, the last time that I've updated so that I can download the version of iTunes and my iPod allows to recover all my songs in iTunes.   In turn if there is a way that I can download all my iPod songs in a folder on the computer and then reload them in iTunes.

    That is to say that a different library was used. The version is not really relevant. If your old computer and new were both running the same version you'd still see the same message unless you have migrated your library or restored a backup. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device.

    Hi Tina,

    1. How do you know that the file is deleted?

    2. did you of recent changes on the system?

    I suggest that you perform SFC scan on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be prompted to

    a. to do this, click Start, click principally made programs, on Accessories, click command prompt

    b. type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    If the Album has been synchronized from your computer using iTunes, then make a new synchronization without the selected album.

  • How to synchronize 2 digital output channels that have been created with DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanFreq

    Hello

    I use peripheral USB6221.

    I created two digital output, operating on a frequency of 75KHz and duty cycle of 50%. But I need a period of 1 microsecond between the two channels.

    I have craeted the two channel on the same task and guess if I use a delay of 0, the channels will be synchronized, but looking at the scope, the channels are not synchronized. Here's the code I used (I checked also all return codes of coarse and fine).

    Thank you

    Danny.

    Int32 RetCode;

    RetCode = DAQmxCreateTask ("", & m_OCtaskHandle);
    LogMessage (RetCode, "CreateTask", "");
    If (RetCode > = 0)
    {
    define the first output channel for 1 transmitter (75KHz)
    RetCode = DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanFreq (m_OCtaskHandle, "/ Dev1/ctr0", ")
    "Transmit1 Line 1", / * name to assign to the channel * /.

    RetCode = DAQmxStartTask (m_OCtaskHandle);

    Hello Danny,

    If you are looking for more output channels of the Digital pulse trains, you can create 1 task of counter that is used as the clock for digital multi-line data output. For this digital task, you will need to make the clock source line PFI for the output of your task of counter. Once this has been done, you will need to create the digital signal for each line of output and write to the card. The example called write dig Chan - Ext Clk will explain how to set up the digital task so that the task has an external clock (the counter). I hope this information helps you and if you have any other questions, feel free to post.

  • Start an Android application that has been installed with navigateToURL()?

    I saw a mention of a Java called 'intent' method, but I don't know how to implement this in AS3 (Flash or Flash Builder).

    I am launching a SWF that can be launched via the load() method.  For some reason even if I post the SWF file in a wrapper HTML and separately using the Flash debugger, when I try to use the load() method it does not load.  I get a few AS3 errors when debugging that have to do with Classes using the SWF file.

    So I thought, if I installed the apk from the SWF file and launched the apk with navigateToURL, it should work.  But I need the right arguments.  I have also considered fscommand.  When I say arguments, I guess I'm talking more about the specific file name and path that the installed Android app is registered to the name.

    Thanks in advance,

    Markerline

    you are probably a reference to the scene or something on stage BEFORE your loaded swf is added to the stage.  that the why you have no problem when you test the swf as a stand-alone file and you have a problem when loading it.

    to remedy this, use an Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE listener before trying to refer to the foregoing.  If you do not understand the question/how resolves, copy and past the first 90 or so lines FontExtrusionDemo.as
